Last November, Reiner was front and center in kicking off his initiative. The speculation then: Prop. 82 was a prequel to a run for governor, just as Schwarzenegger successfully campaigned for an after-school initiative a year before California's recall election. Reiner had momentum, as well as a fawning media. As recently as early March, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne extolled Reiner as "like Reagan, the opposite of a political dilettante." Today, a better description would be "albatross." With the primary days away, Reiner is nowhere to be seen--not on the campaign trail, nor in TV ads. If Prop. 82 fails--and the latest polls have it barely above 50 percent--it will signal an end to Reiner's future as a candidate.

To borrow from the late Lloyd Benson, sorry, Rob, you're no Ronald Reagan.

Send him that in a letter, I bet it's the nicest thing he'll have heard all day.
